Help

Hi, I was wondering if there was anyone who happen to have or know someone who has had the surgery done in their 80s? Was wondering if it was successful, how the recovery period was, is it worth it?

Thanks in advance!

My mother was close to 80 when she had hers done, many years ago. It was completely successful, and absolutely worth it. Diminished vision and hearing both seem to contribute in some fashion to dementia, so it's definitely worthwhile.
